  • Installing the Strun Incarnon Genesis requires 20 PathosClamp Pathos Clamps, 60 RuneMarrow Rune Marrow, and 60 TasomaExtract Tasoma Extract.
  • When installed, the first Evolution tier is unlocked. The following Evolution tiers, their requirements for unlocking them, and their related perks, are shown below;

Evolution I[]

  • Weakpoint hits charge Incarnon Transmutation; Alt Fire transmutes. Switching back will expend any remaining charges.
  • Fire staggering explosive projectiles.
  • Mode switching is not instantaneous and has an animation equal to the weapon's reload speed.
  • Incarnon Form is activated by filling the Incarnon Transmutation gauge that appears under the reticule by achieving weakpoint hits and then pressing the Alternate Fire button. 40 weakpoints will completely fill the gauge. A full gauge is not required to activate Incarnon Form.
    • Charges do not generate on the backpacks of most MOA variants, or vulnerability spots generated by Sonar130xWhite Sonar or Mod TT 20px Detect Vulnerability in places other than actual weakpoints.
    • Weakpoints on corpses or Invulnerable targets do not build charges.
    • Individual Multishot bullets can build charges.

    • Incarnon Form's magazine is not affected by mods.
    • Incarnon Form is not affected by Ammo Efficiency (such as EnergizedMunitions130xWhite Energized Munitions).

Tips[]

  • Strun Wraith combines well with critical chance and critical multiplier mods.
  • A high status chance build can provide significant benefits to the weapon's performance.
  • Although reloading the entire magazine is slow, the weapon can be reloaded as needed immediately after firing, and can be fired in the middle of reloading to interrupt the process. Clever management of reloading in between combat will greatly assist with the slow reload. Bullet jumping will not interrupt the reload.

Trivia[]

  • When the Strun Wraith was first released, it had a critical chance of 50%, making it the weapon with the highest critical chance (prior to the release of the Synapse Synapse). This was unintended and was changed in Hotfix 9.7.3 (2013-09-03) a few hours after release.
  • This weapon was a reward for surviving at least 20 minutes during the Survival Weekend Event in a single round.
  • The Strun Wraith is the first Wraith Tenno weapon.
  • The Strun Wraith is the first Wraith weapon to be re-released.
  • As with many other old Wraith and Vandal weapons, only the energy color could be changed. Other colors may be selected, but would not show on the weapon unless said weapon possessed a skin.
    • As of Update 22.0 (2017-10-12), all default skins of Vandal and Wraith weapons can be fully colored. This includes the Rakta Syandana.

Patch History[]

Hotfix 32.3.3 (2023-02-17)

  • Fixed the Strun Wraith unintentionally having its’ critical chance increased to 38% (returned to the prior value of 18%).

Update 32.0 (2022-09-07)

Ammo Changes

We understand the power fantasy of these weapons is very popular for some, so our first approach was to keep them powerful, but limit how often they can be used by making changes to ammo pick-up.

Ammo Pickup Overrides
The following weapons now have ammo pickup overrides, meaning they gain less from picking up ammo. This mostly applies to AoE weapons, in hopes that players will become more deliberate with their aim to make the most of their Ammo pools. The following lists the specific ammo pick up overrides per weapon category.

Primary Weapon Ammo Pick Up Overrides

15 Ammo per Pick Up:

  • Strun Wraith

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

Greater than 100% Status having meaning:

Shotguns have a unique Role here based on a very patch-work history with how they interact with Status Chance. A Shotgun that shoots 99% Status Chance would give you 35% (roughly) status per pellet. 100% Status Gives you 100% Status per pellet. This huge jump in performance happens with just a 1% gain - why? Well, to answer that we have to look at our choice to make what the UI conveys reality. It would feel broken to shoot a Shotgun with 100% Status and not see a perfect spread of Effects. In reality, to make Status consistent we have to treat Shotguns as a special case.

Shotguns as a special case means we have buffed the Status Chance of all Shotguns by x3 or greater. The UI now behaves to show the reality that you are determining Status Chance per pellet.

  • (Undocumented) Status chance per projectile increased from 4% to 12%.

Update 22.12 (2018-02-09)

  • Mastery Rank increased from 0 to 10.
  • Damage increased from 30 to 40 (per pellet).
  • Critical chance increased from 15 to 18%.
  • Critical Damage from 2 to 2.2x.

Hotfix 18.4.5 (2016-01-29)

  • Increased Ammo Magazine Capacity from 8 to 10.
  • Increased Slash Damage from 50 to 60.
  • Increased Puncture Damage from 37.5 to 45.
  • Increased Impact Damage from 162.6 to 195.
  • As a result of adding 2 more shots per Magazine, reload time for a full reload has slightly increased.
  • Added knockback and impulse to landed shots on enemies.

Update 17.0 (2015-07-31)
Several changes have been made to shotgun weapons across the board -- resulting in a list of changes similar from weapon to weapon. The following list of changes apply to all Primary Shotguns with exception to the Phage:

  • Increased damage across all shotguns.
  • Damage after projectile falloff has been increased for all shotguns.
  • Some shotguns have been given improvements to reload speed.
  • Some shotguns have received improvements to their projectile speed.
  • Death at close to mid range will now toss enemies into a forceful ragdoll.
  • (Undocumented) Strun series changed from magazine-based reload to shell-by-shell reload.
